, but thats really not my fault. The card costed me around 2000 rs. I was expecting active cooling, but it wasnt there.
My processor first overheated now solved that with two fans for it.

I think that spending more on cabinet would have helped as this cabinet simply lacks cooling. Provision for just two 80mm fans, one on side panel and one on rear.

We have a Cyrix 300 MHz running Windows 98 with a 4 GB seagate HDD and 256MB RAM. Its great machine for development work specailly coding. I love this machine and infact this is the most realiable machine we have out of the 5!

Does the HD3450 overheat ? My 7300GT from point-of-view heats upto 90 deg celcius.

for 5.4GHz i used Dry Ice + Acetone with my custom made copper pot.

The HD3450 does work warm but not piping hot.

Thanks. Looks like an older core with manufacturing nm difference is hurting me!

Why did you prefer 7300gt 2way SLI over a single higher end 8800?

Amey sir- you are the original AMD guru.
I am sure you know all this and mostly misunderstood the other post.
But you mus have never bothered about any other chip apart from the highly OCeable black editions ones.

'Black Edition' (with unlocked multi) is called 'Black Edition' only and not BE.
'BE' and 'EE' are the energy efficient low TDP proccies from AMD.
Like say you have a X2 4200+, there maybe a X2 4200+ BE with lower TDP (45W iirc) and maybe labelled as a X2 4250e iirc.
I don't know but Apo sir had mentioned about trying to get an X2 4450 for his htpc iirc- so that model is there for sure.

I guess he took the '2 of everything' concept a bit too far
2 cores, 2 cards. 2 Ram sticks,2 HDD's 2 DVD's ...

PS: are those 2 HDD's in raid ?

Budget constraints mate, i am saving up for 2 x 9600 series cards to run on SLI now. Should be able to buy in a month or two.

Not really mate, i had the HDD's and the Optical drives from my older system. The HDD's are not on RAID but i am thinking of it. Planning to get another 500GB and use the other 2 on Raid 1 for OS and Applications. The 500GB will be mainly for storage.

2 RAMs cause it performs better in Dual-Channel mode. Similar speed and capacity in Dual-Channel gives much better performance compared to 1 single module.


Sorry i didnt understand what a TVM is?
